Chapter 509

Lucy felt that she was the only one pouring her heart and soul into the acting.

When the actress does not come into character, no matter the reason, the result would fall short.

This was the present situation.

This supporting actress was not putting her emotions into her performance. Lucy assumed that she was too nervous to display her feelings.

She understood how the supporting actress felt.

Lucy had worked with this actress when she had just made her debut. She was considered her senior.

Ten years had passed since then. The supporting actress had been involved in numerous filming projects, but she had not managed to rise to fame due to her blander looks.

Lucy had heard rave reviews about her. Her behavior and performances were worthy of praise. Her lackluster demeanor must be due to some other reason.

She recalled that it had been so many years. She had reached great heights since then, but the supporting actress...

Lucy could only sigh in her heart.

Everyone has their own troubles to deal with. She could understand the supporting actress’ difficulties, but truth be told, there was only so much she could do about it.

The only way she could assist her was to help her get into the mood of the scene.

Hence, Lucy delved deeper into her character. She completely transformed her own heart into the female protagonist’s heart and went so far as to look like she was the character herself.

The supporting actress grew nervous at this sight.

She did not expect that her efforts not only failed to make Lucy lose her focus, instead, caused her to dive more deeply into character.

The supporting actress went into panic.

She remembered Jada Swanson’s blackmail and thought about how no production company would ever accept her anymore after this drama series.

She trembled at the thought of a wretched future.

The supporting actress felt her whole being was exploding inside from the stress.

She then recalled that Lucy was, in fact, her junior.

When they first collaborated, Lucy Katz was just a fresh newbie.

Yet now.

Hmph. She was still barely known to the outside world, yet Lucy had turned into a celebrity in no time.

A livid anger of dissatisfaction built up in her heart.

Her expressions turned increasingly hideous and she did not look like the person she was supposed to portray.

Finally, there was not a lick of emotion in her character.

At the same time, Lucy Katz’s performance glistened in contrast.

She had successfully invested herself into her character so much so that her own being was inseparable from the female protagonist herself.

The staff of the production company could not tell if she had completely transformed into Nelly Wilson, or Nelly Wilson had become Lucy Katz instead.

The mass of people there started whispering amongst each other after seeing Lucy’s stunning performance.

The supporting actress noticed the change in environment and her own acting crumbled into pieces.

Finally, Levi could not bear to watch any further and shouted out, “Cut!”

When Director Fernandez sustained the sound of that one word, the supporting actress was elated at that moment. She then fell into tears.

She felt that she had succeeded.

She managed to draw out Lucy Katz’s schemes. The director would surely hate her for that.

She had finally completed Ms. Swanson’s orders.

The supporting actress could see hope waving at her.

Jada Swanson had clearly promised her that if she succeeded in this task, she would convince Director Fernandez to give her more roles in the future.

The supporting actress could imagine the bright and promising future favoring her.

She knew that Director Fernandez had an abundance of resources in the entertainment circle. As for Jada Swanson, her background and connections ran deep. All her hard work over the years were in vain only because she was too rigid.

She thought that all she had to do was to walk the righteous and upright path to get what she wanted. But all were for nothing.

Her head was clear now. She was not willing to hold onto these useless stiff values. She wanted fame, she wanted money.

Finally, she could have all these in the palm of her hands...

The supporting actress was so overwhelmed at these thoughts that she was crying tears of joy in a hysterical way.

She finally had a chance to stand out. How could she not be happy?

She did not anticipate that not only did Director Fernandez not rebuke Lucy Katz, he instead charged toward her, chastising her.

She stopped dead in her tracks when Director Fernandez screamed out his first sentence against her.

She did not understand why she was the one being reproached here.

Fury burst out of his chest when Director Fernandez saw that she was just standing there with a blank expression.

He took big steps toward her and pointed at her nose, reprimanding her. “If you do not wish to act, you can pack your things and scram! Don’t hold us up and don’t waste our time!”

The supporting actress stood there stunned.

This was not the ending she expected.

“Director Fernandez, I...”

Before she could explain herself, she heard Lucy interrupting her. “Director Fernandez, I’ve worked with her before. Her skills are quite on par. It’s just that she did not capture the intrinsic details just yet. She must have been nervous earlier. Why don’t you give her another chance?”

Lucy’s only intention was to help her fellow colleague out.

After all, they had both cooperated before. They would have some mutual affection one way or another.

She did not mind that the supporting actress had long forgotten their mutual affection for each other, but Lucy would never forget that day when she was still a fresh newbie. She was once reprimanded by the director. At that time, the supporting actress gently told the director, “Director Christopher, Little Katz was just nervous.”

These words were nothing but just a passing kind gesture for the supporting actress, but for Lucy, it was undoubtedly like she was given charcoal during winter.

Lucy was just a fresh newbie then. It was not easy for her to even land a small role.

She was extremely nervous back then. So nervous that she could not bring out the quality that was expected of her.

That director was snobbish and perverted. He humiliated her countless times, but she stayed silent. He even blackmailed her so that she would accompany him...

Lucy did not like these kinds of situations. After that encounter, she vowed to never accept low-class jobs like that ever again.

At that time, if the supporting actress had not helped to speak up for her, Lucy would not be where she was today.

Lucy remembered this goodwill after all these years. She was especially grateful toward this supporting actress.

Hence, Lucy felt that it was time for her to repay the kindness.

While the supporting actress was buried in embarrassment, she helped to look for an excuse and spoke up for her to protect her dignity.

Unfortunately, Levi and the supporting actress both lacked empathy.

Levi had no idea of this past. The supporting actress had completely forgotten that such a thing had ever happened.

Hence, when Lucy came up with this remark, a glint of resentment flashed on the supporting actress’ face. “I don’t need your pity.”

Lucy felt wronged at her words and looked at the once gentle and helpful senior. She could not understand why she would not accept her kind gesture.

A moment of realization then dawned on Lucy.

The entertainment circle was a messy one. How could she be sure that the supporting actress would expect her to step in for her?

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 People would only look out for themselves at such a chaotic place as the entertainment circle.

Hence, the director gave her a cold glare mocking at her. He was mocking her as “Miss Katz being Miss Goody Two Shoes”. He did not find any excuses for himself, nor did he show any remorse for what he did.
